Guerrilla Solar: ecological activism


Guerrilla Solar is a direct action campaign to promote the use of solar energy and renewable energy in general, energy saving and efficiency in the DOMESTIC field.

By direct action we mean promoting concrete GESTURES of people. And among these gestures we want to highlight some that have to do with the exemplary use of technologies that bring us closer to an economy of sufficiency.

Guerrilla Solar is a campaign in favor of the ENERGY DEMOCRACY, to promote that citizens participate in the fight against climate change, investing in renewable energy, energy efficiency and, at the same time, saving energy at home. Each person, family unit or municipality attached to the Solar Guerrilla becomes an example for their environment.

Each unit of energy we obtain from renewable energy sources saves greenhouse emissions and, therefore, enlisting in the Solar Guerrilla is a real and practical way to fight against climate change, in addition to giving an example of environmental militancy for future generations.

For these reasons, the Solar Guerrilla puts at the disposal of people interested in renewable energy and energy saving, different technological tools that make their personal and domestic access possible. It is encouraged to use approved products in the renewable energy market, highlighting the degree of excellence achieved by solar technology. The solar devices used have a symbolic value and cannot cause damage to transport networks, people or the environment.

Solar Guerrilla: Plug in the Sun

Plug in Sol is the first action of the Solar Guerrilla. An action aimed at verifying that we are slaves of energy consumption, when we could also be producers and, in addition, without contributing to global warming of the planet. We consume dirty oil energy and highly polluting electricity from atomic power plants. We could produce electricity with photovoltaic energy from our homes to help save dirty watts of the power grid. But currently there is no incentive nor is it easy to plug into the Sun from home.

Therefore, the Terra Foundation has encouraged companies in the renewable energy sector to design a solar appliance that produces electricity with the same simplicity and safety with which a refrigerator does, but instead of consuming energy, save it. Thus, an authentic plug & play home appliance has been generated for the first time in the Spanish State to combat climate change: the GS120 photonic kit .

The GS120 photonic kit of the Guerrilla Solar is made up of a 120 Wp photovoltaic panel of high quality monocrystalline silicon cells that incorporates a 125 W microinverter by injecting the electrical grid with an advanced electronic that meets all standards to ensure maximum safety and stop sending solar electricity through the domestic plug in case it runs out of tension.

The GS120 photographic kit of the Guerrilla Solar can generate about 144 kWh per year, a volume of electricity that COMPENSATES the equivalent of 10% of the consumption Annual electric per person in the home . On a sunny day and at full capacity, this photovoltaic panel can generate about 400 watts / hour, that is, the electricity that the refrigerator may be consuming in sunny hours, plus other electrical appliances plugged in at home. The GS120 photographic kit of the Solar Guerrilla is a tool with a minimal ecological footprint, which returns the energy that has been used in its manufacture. At 3.5 years and it has the capacity to generate renewable electricity for more than 30 years.

The GS120 photographic kit of the Solar Guerrilla generates a small saving, since at the moment it injects electricity through the conventional house plug, this electricity does not allow Enter from the general power supply network. But it may also be that there are times when we do not have electricity consumption and, on the other hand, I do know that there is electrical production with the kit. In this case, these watts are released to the general electrical network and become a gift of green energy that slows the entry of dirty electricity into the network as a whole.

Recruitment of solar guerrillas

The Guerrilla Solar campaign is designed for individual people, families i also city ​​halls .

The Solar War action: enchute the Sun aims to recruit people and entities that want to participate in this first promotion to fight for renewables and against climate change from home PACIFIC AND COMMITTED to future generations. Many say that the time has come for renewable energy, but in practice, the electric companies are the ones that dictate the rules to the submissive governments. The Solar Warfare: plug in the Sun, look for:

  • 150 citizens committed to the sustainable future of the planet and who want to invest in a photovoltaic kit, the characteristics of which respond to approved products.
  • Municipalities committed to energy democracy that facilitate access to the installation of devices that produce renewable energy or save emissions in the domestic sphere.

Participating in the Solar Guerrilla can be done in three simple ways:

1. Read the Manifesto of the Solar Guerrilla.

2. Participating in the actions proposed by the campaign, in this case acquiring the GS120 Photo Kit to install it in your home.

3. Make individual or collective gestures visible on the campaign's digital tapestry. I am the solution that collects images of the citizens' commitments against climate change. Ethical.

The tools proposed for the Solar Guerrilla have a special price and, therefore, it is as if it were an investment subsidized by the Earth Foundation for the user to pay the price. Encouraged by high quality technological components. Enlist and participate directly in the Solar Guerrilla is a real commitment to contribute to changing the current socio-economic paradigm based on excessive consumerism that is destroying the planet at an accelerated rate.

Municipalities for energy democracy

The municipalities have a key role in the practice of sustainability. Their proximity to citizenship and government responsibility makes them an essential institution in the fight against climate change. Within the framework of this campaign, the municipal commitment to energy democracy is urged and to make it easier for citizens to enlist in favor of renewable energy from the domestic sphere.

Make your City Council ready for Municipalities for Energy Democracy: send an e-mail to your mayor and your environment councilor so that your bureaucratic process is facilitated in your minute so that citizens have access to renewable technologies. Send them this link www.ecoterra.org/articulos148es.html and encourage them to join.

The GS120 photonic kit consists of a 120 Wp photovoltaic solar panel that incorporates as standard a microinverter designed for interconnection in the standard electrical network.
